For years, big box stores have attempted to monopolize the home-improvement industry. These megastores draw homeowners in with their promises of low prices, large inventories, and convenience. But the last decade or so has seen a surge in independent retailers as consumers have begun to realize that the appeal of big box stores comes at a very steep price.

Independent establishments like Affinity Stoneworks meet the demands that come with kitchen and bath renovations in ways that big box stores can’t.

When embarking upon a home renovation project, whom do you go to for assistance with your project needs?

Big box stores may offer the services to do the job, but they don’t come with the personalized attention or design consultation that home renovation projects require.

Meanwhile, small countertop companies may offer customers individual attention, but the services they provide are limited. While countertops are a major part of a renovation project, they’re certainly not the only part. Most countertop companies leave homeowners on their own when it comes to updating the rest of the room.

Affinity is small enough to offer a personalized experience, but large enough to provide customers with the necessary breadth of services to satisfy all of their home renovation needs.

Your mother suggests one material, but each of your friends swears by another. So which type of countertop is best for you? The options at Affinity appeal to a broad range of taste and function.
